The Ocean The Beast!
Lower Definition Lyrics

Lost in the waves.
Feeling helpless and alone in the vastness of the ocean.

The red flows in the wake
The water is tinted with blood and chaos in the aftermath of a tragic event.

And I can't breathe
Overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with the challenges one is facing.

Swallowed by the sea.
Consumed by the overwhelming force of the ocean, representational of the adversity faced in life.

Are you coming up?
Asking if the other person is confident and ready to rise above their challenges.

Or falling under?
Questioning if the other person will let their struggles drag them down and consume them.

Sharpen it up!
Urging the other person to focus and improve their situation.

Jagged teeth tearing at my feet.
Feeling attacked and helpless as the obstacles ahead seem to devour and harm them.

They're dragging me out,
One's obstacles seem to be winning and pulling them away from their goals.

Tearing meat from my bones!
Feeling as though their problems are consuming them from the inside out, emotionally and physically.

Lost in the sea and I can't breathe.
Feeling entirely defeated, unable to keep up with the stress or sadness that they're facing.

Would you drag my body back?
Asking the other person if they would help save them from their own struggles and pain.

I'd never ask for that.
Knowing that it's not with one's pride to ask for help, but being open to the idea if it's offered.

And if my head ever severs from my body,
Accepting the potential for the worst-case scenario.

My lovely, pull it to the beach.
Turning to my lover to take care of my final moments.

And if the waves ever crash on me, let me be.
Accepting that they might not have control and allowing fate to dictate the outcome.

Let the unsung sea carry me out like a note.
Allowing the ocean to carry one away like a song that goes unheard.

But you'd probably reach in and drag me back anyway.
Acknowledging that there are people who care and would try to help save them, even when they feel helpless.

You're stuck in the wake.
Feeling caught in the aftermath of problems, surrounded by chaos and destruction.

If the waves ever crush me, let me sink.
Preferring to sink and fade away rather than try to desperately hold on in a hopeless situation.

You know I'll come back for you,
Promising to return for those who have helped along the way.

Even if the pain is never relieved.
Despite the pain and emotional turmoil, they will always be there for those who have been kind and helpful.

Would you do that for me?
Asking the other person if they would do the same for me if they were in my position.

I could be the one you need.
Reaffirming that they will be there whenever the other person needs them.

Won't you come down with me?
Asking the other person to join them in the face of their troubles.

This water don't love.
The ocean itself doesn't have any sympathy, and problems will often happen in unforgiving ways.

I'll go under for a while.
Knowing they might struggle for a bit before resurfacing again.

I'll sink under with a smile.
Keeping a positive attitude despite the hardships they are facing.

Drifting down the coast for you tonight.
Settling for enjoying the time that they have and how they are spending it with the ones they care about.

Swaying in and out with the tide.
Going with the flow and embracing the changes as they come.

Tonight, let the ocean take me under.
Welcoming and accepting fate's decision.

I know it's hard but
Acknowledging that things are difficult for everyone in different ways.

I know where I'm going.
Being resolute in that they know what path they want to take.

Back to the start.
Reinforcing that they will always be themselves and returning to where it all began.

Just know that I meant well.
Trying their best and hoping the other person realizes what they were trying to do for them.

Are you strong enough?
Challenging the other person and asking if they are confident and resilient enough to overcome what life has thrown at them.

Lost in the waves and I can't breathe.
Appearing distraught, overwhelmed and incapable of keeping pace with the struggles they are up against.

Would you pull my body back?
Repeatedly requesting aid and letting them know that it is hard to face things alone.

I'd never ask for that.
Acknowledging it is difficult to rely on someone else for help, but being open to the possibility.

'Cause I, I just took mine.
Reinforcing that they are responsible for what happens to them and they need to make their own choices in life.

Well I, I just took mine.
Accepting that what happened had already happened and there's no point in dwelling on past disappointments.
